We are heartbroken at the loss of our friend and colleague Randy Conner.
We are heartbroken at the loss of our friend and colleague Randy Conner who was a full time faculty member in Humanities. Randy has been part of the Faculty Association since he started at Moraine Valley in 2014.
Randy was an innovative teacher who developed several new courses, most notably HUM 155, LGBTQ Humanities. Additionally, he was an accomplished scholar publishing and editing many texts. His book series The Pagan Heart of the West challenged traditional views of Western spirituality.
Randy regularly joined in campus discussions sharing his own story and helping us all see the world in new ways. Here are a few of his talks:
A review of Hermann Hesse’s Demian (including a great deal of Randy’s own life story)
Reflections on Fire: The Symbolic, Sacred & Destructive
The Hero’s Journey & the Power of Myth: A Faculty Panel Discussion
We send our love and good thoughts to Randy’s family. Our campus will not be the same without him.
